During formulation development, 3 different disintegrating agent s, were utilized to prepare immediate release tablet which are Sodium starch glycolate, Crospovidone and Cross carmellose sodium. Tablets were evaluated for disintegration time. Sodium starch glycolate, Crospovidone and Cross carmellose sodium gives disintegration time 24 sec, 44 sec and 120sec respectively. From that sodium starch glycolate gives less disintegration time and selected for the formulation of tablet

Three different concentration 2.5 mg, 5 mg and 7.5 mg of sodium starch glycolate as a disintegrating agent were used. Tablets were evaluated for the hardness and disintegration time. 5% sodium starch glycolate indicated less disintegration time and optimum hardness.

Binders are used to improve the mechanical strength of the formulation. Starch as a binder was tried with three different concentrations, 3 mg, 5 mg and 7 mg, and tablets were evaluated for the hardness and disintegration time. From optimum hardness and less disintefration time, 5% starch is optimised as a binding

    Pharmacodynamics: Ibuprofen is a NSAID with anti-inflammatory; analgesic and antipyretics effects are the results of the ability to block the cyclooxygenase (COX) enzyme system, leading to the inhibition of the synthesis of prostaglandins [6]. COX is the enzyme used for prostaglandin biosynthesis [3]. Both COX-1 and COX-2 enzymes are involved with prostaglandin production. The inhibition of these enzymes results in decreased synthesis of prostaglandin thus decreasing pain, fever, and swelling [4].…

    In order to extract aspirin, caffeine, and acetaminophen from a tablet of pain medication acid and base extraction techniques were used to exploit the differences in solubility between the components. This is achieved by using a separatory funnel and three different solvents, 4M HCl which separated the caffeine, deionized water which separated the acetaminophen, and 5% wt/vol NaHCO3 which separated the aspirin. Once the solution of the crushed tablet and ethyl acetate was mixed with a solvent in the funnel two immiscible layers will form. In the case of the aspirin separation, the carboxylic component will be attracted to the basic NaHCO3 layer, effectively separating it from the other components. This is the same with the other components and their corresponding solvents.…

    Certain medications may be indicated in different forms based on the patient’s needs and abilities. The most common dosage form is a tablet, which is a ‘pill’ typically taken orally as directed, but some patients such as children, the elderly and those who are recently recovering from oral surgery may find a tablet difficult to swallow, literally. For those who do have difficulty swallowing, a liquid form of the medication called a solution, may be a more suitable way to take the medication although, some medications are not available in a liquid form. Some medications require a coat of gelatin to surround the actual medication, so the medication will not innterphere with or be lost through the digestive process. These medications are referred to as capsules, and while they are not as easy to swallow as solutions they are easier to swallow than a tablet and may be beneficial to the patient.…

Graph 2 displays the averages of the reaction time which showed the higher the water temperature is, the faster the reaction time would be. At 65⁰C the average time for the Alka-Seltzer to completely dissolve was 1 minute 4 seconds followed by 1 minute 20 seconds at 35⁰C and ending with the highest average at 2 minutes 1 second (1.61).

    This used the already gelatinized starch from Experiment 2.1, where amylase is 25% present. The production of saliva, is when α-amylase is secreted to start the digestion process (Bailey and Howard 1963). Glucose, maltose, malotriose are all low molecular weight products that that are formed through hydrolysis of amylase of internal α-1,4 and α-1,6-glycosidic linkages (Fenemma and others 2008). Through gelatinization both amylose and amylopectin are realised making it easier for α-1,4 and α-1,6-glycosidic linkages to hydrolyze to form glucose products (Rogers 2015). With the formation of glucose and addition of Benedict’s solution hydrolysis occurred and there was formation of reducing sugars (Fenemma and others 2008).…
